Hobbies symptoms and conditions

I'm 17 years old and I started nuvaring in October 2008. It didn't occur to me that I wasn't myself until February 2009, and I honestly believed I was going crazy. I became so anxious and depressed about everything, especially my loved ones. My boyfriend is my best friend and my biggest support alongside my parents. I've been reevaluating every friendship/relationship i've been in. I've lost interest in my hobbies and passions. I've felt indifferent about everything, not to mention I have absolutely no sex drive. And I'm devastated that I did not enjoy my senior year of high school. I didn't think about the nuvaring until 2 weeks ago. I came on this website and read all of the stories of depression, mood swings, anxiety, etc. You have no idea how relieved I felt. I took out the ring on Saturday as usual and got my period today. However, I will not be continuing nuvaring. I still feel anxious, irritable, and I'm even second guessing that the ring is the cause, however I very much hope that it is and that I feel like my carefree outgoing self again soon. I'm angry that I didn't make the connection sooner because it made my senior year very upsetting and has slowly been hurting my friendship/relationship with my boyfriend.

I have been taking Diovan not Diovan HTC for about a year. Recently I have noticed pain in both of my shoulders and in the joint of one finger. I also experienced very significant pain in my left wrist that seemed to come out of the blue. One of my hobbies is archery but the pain in my shoulders and upper arms does not allow me to enjoy this hobby. I simply cannot draw my bow without pain. I also cannot throw a ball with any authority without pain. I am a 65 year old mail and have never had any trouble like this until Diovan. I plan to stop taking it for a couple of weeks to see what changes I notice and will report back.

Hi,
I just found this site and was wondering how long it takes this horrible drug to leave your system. I have been taking it for a year and have suffered the WORST depression and anxiety attacks from it. I have been lucky enough to have never suffered from any of these symptoms in my entire life and my heart goes ou to those who live with it every day
So far I have lost my job, any chance of sleep, and I can barely get out of the house in the morning. Its having a direct affect on my marriage, I have lost all intest in my hobbies, unable to concentrate, I'm just a wreck. I just saw my Dr. last week and she made my dose smaller (25 MG) for the past week and I feel worse. Is there any ending to this?

O how glad to know where my problems are coming from!!! Im 22 years old and just became sexually active. Because of the "cheery" Yasmine commerical I decided to give it a try. Well I've been on pill for a total of 3 months and its been an emotional rollercoaster! I was condsidering having a pshycological evaluation to determine if I was clinically depressed. I found myself crying for no apparent reason. I even lost interest in some of my hobbies. Prior to the pill my body lubricated itself, not any more. Headaches and nausea were never a problem during my menstral, now it definately is. I started the pill the middle of January 5'8'' and 164 lbs, now its April I'm still 5'8'' but good ole Yasmine took me up to 179. Thanks everyone, Im getting a new birth control.

I am 19 years old & I have been on a low dose of Advair for about a year & a half. It has done wonders for me. Weezing is a thing of the past. I forgot how constricting & uncomfortable I used to be. It makes my atheletic hobbies more exciting & less of a burden than before. Taking that first 6 foot sprint was a nightmare & regretful in the long "run". Now I'm vurtually worry free. I still keep an albuterol inhaler close just in case, but rarely use it except for when allergies act up. I know of no side effects thus far.

Do not give up, this muscle pain, aches, twitching will stop once your body gets rid off the Yasmin toxins. I've had too the muscle pains, swelling, stiffness in my lower legs and my arms with the twitching when I went off Yasmin.
I could not sleep at night because of the pain I had in my legs and feet like horrible cramps and constant twitching. Also for 3 weeks I was not able to walk properly and felt like I wanted to die and had to give up my favourite hobbies (walking and swimming). It will take a while before you can back to normal again (it was 2 months for me) and I still have the stiffness in my calves (pain and cramps have gone!!) and some days are worse than others. I find swimming to be excellent as it relaxes your muscles and improves your blood circulation.
I'm also taking vitamin B complex with food once a day. This is good for the muscles, brain and heart. Just be patient and you will get better.

I had a Kenalog shot for my C-Section scar/keloid. I asked my OBGYN are there any side effects to this shot, he replyed absolutely "no side effects whatsoever". Since the shot I have not stopped bleeding, everyday for almost 2 months now. Also I was rushed to emergency for projectile vomiting black vomite which turned out to be blood.(I also collapsed, right after the Kenalog shot and a nurse wheelchaired me to my mom's car). Anyway I the most scary thing is the vomiting blood, which has been in my stomach since the Kenalog shot. After seeing dozens of doctors, I read the microscopic print on the drug (which was never disclosed at the time I had the shot) Kenalog creates Peptic Ulcers and Gastrointestinal Bleeding in addition to the irregular periods. Anyone with me for a class action lawsuit to stop this drug from hurting and in some cases killing people?

I've been taking Toprol XL 50MG 2x's a day for the past few months for HBP. I've been feeling so depressed and anxious about everything and just couldn't explain why. I have a very hard time sleeping, waking up several times in the middle of the night and many times moving from couch to chair to bed to find some kind of relief. I'm tired a lot and find no desire to do anything around the house...even the hobbies I love. I often have dry mouth, constipation, flatulence, heart burn, head aches, nausea, and depression.
